When The Stars Fall From The Sky Lyrics - Get A Life - Stiff Little Fingers

Mid-October, sixty one 

The French Police were having fun 

Cutting down Algerians 

Breaking heads all over town 

Yet no-one saw and no-one knew 

No-one dared to speak the truth 

200 dead became just two 

Sweep them in the river 

The witnesses were run to the ground 

Put the bastards underground 

Buried every black in town 

Who dared to show their face 

(Chorus): 

When the stars fall from the sky 

When the world cannot make me cry 

That's when the scales will fall from your eyes 

And let you see the truth 

Boipitong in ninety two 

Subjected to a murder crew 

Well trained policemen charging through 

A crowd that's armed with slogans 

Yet no-one saw and no help came 

And no-one wants to take the blame 

These people that you try to tame 

Will get round to you later 

The protesters were run to the ground 

Put the bastards underground 

Buried every black in town 

Who dared to raise his voice 

Every day around the world 

The voice of truth cannot be heard 

Men and women disappear 

They have to live their life in fear 

Yet something makes them stand and shout 

One day they will find you out 

Dig up every fact in town 

And shove them in your face
